Site pop-ups are often one of the most effective ways to obtain an email address. You can offer a discount in exchange for emails. You can also have a dedicated landing page on your website for your email program. You can set up registration walls to access certain parts of your online store. You can have email modules in the header and footer of your site, along with special banners. Off-site options include link-in-bios on social media sites, email-specific social posts, referral programs, and cross promotion with a collaborator.
